Is it better to use soap or shower gel for bathing? Shower gel for dry skin

Do you prefer to use shower gel or soap when taking a bath? Many people think that there is no difference between the two, and both clean the skin. Is this true? The following is a look at whether it is better to use soap or shower gel when taking a bath. Shower gel is better for dry skin.

What is the difference between soap and shower gel?

If you want to know whether soap or shower gel is better, you must first understand the characteristics of the two.

Characteristics of soap: Soap is an essential washing and care product in daily life. It is made of sodium fatty acid and other surfactants as the main raw materials, and quality improvers and appearance improvers are added. It is processed and formed into various shapes after the spices, pigments and white soap are ground. It is the most economical one and has a good effect on general cleaning and degreasing.

Characteristics of shower gel: shower gel is a liquid cleaning agent used in bathing. It is divided into alkaline shower gel and acidic shower gel according to different ingredients. Shower gel is no longer a simple skin cleanser, but focuses on the cool, refreshing, moisturizing and smooth feeling brought by bathing, which has become a higher enjoyment that people pursue in bathing in recent years.

Bathing with soap or shower gel

In terms of cleaning ability, soap is slightly better. Soap is an improved version of soap, characterized by strong detergency. The main ingredient of soap is a chemical called "sodium stearate", which has a particularly good cleaning ability. Generally speaking, the more foam the soap produces, the better the cleaning effect. Although it has outstanding detergency, the oil on the surface of the skin will also be taken away by it. Soap has a good cleaning effect, and you will feel refreshed after taking a bath, but soap is slightly more alkaline, so people with allergic skin should try to use it as little as possible. Although soap has a cleaning effect, it is not good for dry skin.

In terms of comfort, shower gel is better. Shower gel's cleaning ability is slightly weaker than soap, but its skin-beautifying effect is much better than soap. It has the effect of whitening and moisturizing the skin, and can make the skin smoother after taking a bath. Shower gel has a better water-locking effect and is less irritating. High-quality shower gel has rich and stable foam, mild nature, does not irritate the skin and eyes, has sufficient decontamination ability, and the skin will not be dry after bathing. This is mainly because most shower gels contain "sticky" ingredients, and these ingredients are not easy to wash off. Even if you rinse and rinse, they will still stay on you, making your skin feel silky and smooth and not so dry.

Is it better to use soap or shower gel for bathing? From this, we can conclude that: People with oily skin should choose soap for bathing. People with dry skin should choose shower gel for bathing.

Shower gel recommendation

Choosing a skin-beautifying shower gel is the first step to becoming an exquisite girl. I strongly recommend the scrub spa series shower gel from Ambrodie. Even in winter, you won’t feel dry or tight after using it. Let me first talk about the water-nourishing and soft black rose sea salt scrub shower gel that I use. First of all, it looks very beautiful, pink and tender, very girly. The smell is a light floral and fruity fragrance. The scrub particles inside are delicate and smooth, gentle and non-irritating. It can effectively manage cuticles without hurting the skin. In addition, French black rose essence is added. The whole thing is very advanced. Every time I use it, I feel that my skin is firmer, smoother and more elastic.

The second one is the water-nourishing and softening sea salt scrub shower gel. It is particularly noteworthy for its warm ginger scent. I wonder what warm ginger scent is? Then you must have eaten cola candy, right? That's right, it smells like cola candy~ Every time I use this shower gel, I feel very good. Compared with the above one, the large scrub particles with Israeli sea salt ingredients make the cleaning ability even better~ In comparison, I use this one less times than Black Rose in a week, in fact, it's because Black Rose looks good, but compared with similar scrub shower gels, Anbao Dijia is indeed more gentle. After using it for a period of time, my skin has become more translucent and smooth.

Each of these two types has its own merits. The black rose type is better for firming the skin, while the sea salt type is more suitable for deep cleansing. But no matter which type you use, you will feel like you are doing a SPA. This is the effect of the aroma fragrance carefully prepared by the LG Fragrance Research Institute. With their own characteristics, it feels like you are in a French rose garden today, and floating comfortably on the Dead Sea in Israel the next day, bathing in the sun, and feeling free and easy.

Winter is dry, which makes it easier for dead skin to accumulate on the body and form dead skin cells. Therefore, I usually use body scrubs once or twice a week to give my skin a deep exfoliation treatment. I recommend this sabon bath salt body scrub to all the girls. Every time I use it, I feel like taking a bath is a kind of enjoyment. The key is that after using it for about a week, the small acne on my back has improved, and the dead skin cells in the joints have been reduced. It's a large bottle, and it can be used for a long time~

There is another magical thing for bathing that I have to recommend to you~ It is MUJI's soft-bristled long-handled bath brush. This brush has soft bristles, and you can use it to gently apply shower gel to create more foam. It can also act as an exfoliator, making you feel that bathing is really a pleasure, and you want to stay in the shower room and never come out!

I used to be a woman who was troubled by small pimples on my back. I dared not wear clothes with exposed backs and wrapped myself tightly when I went to the beach. Later, after taking a serious shower and using SANA back acne spray, I can now bravely expose my back. This spray feels cool when used, and it can be sprayed even if the bottle is inverted. It can be easily controlled by spraying it yourself. After using it for a month, the small pimples on my back have really improved. It can effectively control excessive oil secretion, thereby solving the acne problem. I will continue to repurchase it~

How to use soap

If the zipper on your clothes and pants is stuck and difficult to pull, you can use some soap to smooth it out! Apply a layer of soap on the zipper. With the soap as a lubricant, you can pull it smoothly!

Skin itching

If you are bitten by a mosquito and it itches a lot, and ointments don't work, then try using soap to relieve the itch. Apply soap with some water to the itchy area, which can not only relieve redness and swelling, but also relieve itching immediately!

If you can do some small needlework at home, but the needle can't penetrate the thick cloth, what should you do? Rub the needle on the soap twice, and you can thread the needle at will!
